Urth serves as the battlefield for one-on-one combat between seven ferocious dinosaurs and giant apes. Players execute character-specific attacks, such as Blizzard's Freeze Breath to immobilize opponents or Diablo's Inferno Flash to create firestorms. Winning matches allows players to trigger deadly finishing moves to secure total domination in single player or two-player modes.
